Overview
Privacy means different things to different people. What does it means to children and young people now, and how does it affect their daily lives? We want to be able to ensure that children and young people understand the importance of protecting their privacy and personal information but recognise that successful promotional and educational strategies need to be accessible, relevant and meaningful to them.
Privacy Victoria's one-day conference aims to explore the following issues, and more:
* What does privacy mean to children and young people today?
* What does the law say about who can know what about children and young people?
* What is the impact of the surveillance society on them?
* What are the potential risks to their personal information, their health, their security and even their lives, from the use of information technologies?
* What can educators, policy and law makers, parents and even young people themselves do to educate and support children and young people about privacy protection, and empower them to do what they need to protect their privacy?
* Who has what role and how are those roles legitimised and disseminated?
